Guy Davison

Appointed a non-executive director of Caledonia in January 2018, Guy is Chairman of the Governance Committee and is a member of the Audit and Nomination Committees.

After qualifying as a chartered accountant, he spent four years at Larpent Newton before joining Cinven, the leading international private equity firm, in 1988 as a founding partner, remaining with the firm until his retirement in January 2017. During that time, he was central to the development of the business from the time of its buy-out from British Coal in 1995 to an international operation that today has offices throughout Europe and North America. During his 29 years at Cinven, he represented the firm as chairman or non-executive director at some 25 of its portfolio companies. He also serves on the board of Ascot Authority (Holdings) Limited.

Guy brings to the board over 30 years knowledge and experience of private equity investing, both in the UK and Europe, which is of particular benefit to Caledonia’s board and its Private Capital team in evaluating new unquoted investment opportunities and managing its existing unquoted portfolio.
